The service manual says to tighten the lock collar on installation by tapping it in the same direction as rotation, or CCW.
In reality, it seems to work most of the time regardless of which way it is tightened on installation as I've found them both ways. It does have a set screw as well.
Every time I've removed one, it's a guess which way to drive it to loosen it. I try CW first, then if that doesn't work, CCW.
